estate guys in new york and elsewhere, pretty tough cookies, right? politics is a much dirtier business. so i get a -- a call, this guy from -- i never even heard of it. but my people said, club for growth. they grow the wallet in their pockets, that is what it is. so, trump for growth, supposedly a conservative. so he comes up to my office. we have a perfectly nice talk. he is telling me about club for growth, which is nice, and that is the and of it. he then sends me a letter, asks me about make a $1 million contribution. i said, $1 million? i may be rich, but i'm not stupid, right? $1 million? so he wants $1 million in the letter. he was stupid enough to put it in the letter. howtold him, obviously -- many in the room would say, oh, good, let's give him $1 million. i just can't do that.

these three players were tough cookies.

he is a tough cookie and you know what, i just took out something. i said, let me -- look, we know he's a great coach. but we don't know how great a coach. bobby knight, as you know, he coached in a place called indiana. i won't ask you how it's doing since he left. i won't ask. but it's going to do well and i hear you have a very good coach. i do, i hear you have a very good coach now. is that true? i hear you have a very good coach. but he coached the u.s. olympic team, in 1984, won the gold medal. he won three ncaa titles at a place called the university of indiana. he was put in the hall of fame in 1991.

good job but it shows he's a tough cookie. he doesn't like it when you sign a pledge and then you use their data of which cost them millions and millions of dollars to -- because of the fact you signed a pledge and then you violate it, look, they signed an agreement and the agreement says without question, it says i will -- now they are violating it and nobody talks about. they say what wonderful people. nobody talks about the fact that they violated a pledge. >> mr. trump, with the politician, with anybody, you are only as good as your word. is anybody going to trust these guys ever again? how could they possibly run for president or anything else? >> you know what it is, they got beaten so badly and they didn't expect -- i mean, jeb expected to win. kasich, i don't know how he expected to win, but i guess he did, but he certainly got very few votes. he would go to these states and he would bomb in every state, but he was stubborn. he says i'm going to the next one. i remember one of the reporters asked him well, you did very

you look at the sky here say wow, that's a tough cookie. i am very fearful for my life. i am very worried that i will be accosted. is -- no, no, he'll do the acosting. asylum, oh, give him asylum. he's afraid. he's afraid. we don't love the fact that he's got tattoos on his face. that's not a good sign.

these were guys that formed isis, these are tough cookies. they didn't like us. and they didn't really want to fight for iraq because iraq is a corrupt government, you know. remember when they were handing $50 million of cash, cash, they were going through afghanistan a, paying off -- i want to know, who are the soldiers that are carrying cash, $50 million, cash? how stupid are we? i wouldn't be surprised -- if those soldiers, i wouldn't be surprised if the cash didn't get there. i have to be honest. ay. but remember when obama was saying, we will leave, we are leaving iraq as of a certain date. now the opponents said, wow, that's great. [laughter] what do we have to fight anymore for? let's just wait a year and a half. that's what happened. as soon as we left they knocked the shit out of everybody. right? [applause] they just knocked the hem out of everybody.

literally, i have had policemen, tough cookies, where they are literally afraid to be a little rough with people that are really bad people. because they are afraid they will end up getting brought

he was a very tough cookie. and he was able to silence his critics by doing it. so we're going to get your voice back. we are going to get it back. when it looked like i was going to win -- we still have these never trump, never trump, all these people, never trump. that's why i love mike. mike said, hey, he's doing a good job. he's such an amazing guy. we always got along. somehow, we always got along. and there are a few others, too. we have some pretty good relationships. is it, you know, we're going to do something. and when i got the nomination, and as we were getting a and is working on the life form, i said to my people, see if you can add in the johnson amendment. call it the johnson amendment. that we are going to get rid of the johnson amendment.
